Beginning today, November 17, let's focus on Hungary. Today is the feast day of my patron saint: Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Szent Erzsébet in Hungarian. (Since there is not yet a St. Lisa, she is my "name saint" of choice!)

What better day to refresh our knowledge of the geography of the country of Hungary?

Lisa, that was a very nice surprise for me this morning, and more surprisingly I did poorly on the tests! This shows that even I'm a born Hungarian there are lots of things I still don't know about my country. Just have to practice! A beautiful painting of Saint Elizabeth, thank you!

What a great idea! But, I'm ashamed to admit I did quite poorly regarding my knowledge of Hungary. I hope to do better with the other countries you pick - can't wait to find out which ones.

I did do much better with my knowledge of St. Elizabeth though. As my Polish great-grandmother was born on her feast day (actually two days later), she is named after her. Oddly enough, she also married a Ludwig and they had a son Henry, my grandfather. Too strange! But, she wasn't as saintly as St. Elizabeth. That's a lovely painting.
